House and Dog Sitting
The experience
We look for up to 3 persons to familiarise themselves with our home, our routine and most importantly our dogs, so we can trust you to look after them, whilst we assist our parents with relocating back to UK. Ideally you will start at the end April beginning May, spend a week getting to know our home and dogs. After this you simply house sit and follow the routine whilst we are away. Sharing the role with others will ensure 2 days off each week.
